ANOTHER MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Franklin County, n, v, Again Excited-A
Mans Body Found at Brandon
Three Arrests.

MALONE, n. Y, Aug. 26.-Considerable
excitement has been caused through this
part of Franklin county, by the discovery
on Wednesday of the dead body of man
lying in the road in front of the hotel at
Brandon station. The body when found
was lying on the back, with the right
hand extending back under the head in a
position to support it. Upon turning the
body over, blood flowed quite freely from
the right ear. Foul play was at once
suspected, but still it was thought pos
sible that the man might have become in
toXicated and fallen from an upper story
window of the hotel. An examination
failed to show any bruises which would
indicate such fall and moreover the
body was fully ID feet from the DulldlnG
In making the examination, however,
a dark blue mark was discovered running
from Just below the lower extremity of
the ear diagonally downward across the
jugular vein appearing to have resulted
from blow with stick. On the upper
portion of the stomach was found another
black and blue spot about the size OF Il
silver dollar. But no abrasion of the skin
could be found anywhere, and no bruises
other than those mentioned. Sheriff
Sunderland on Thursday arrested and
lodged in Jail three men who are
suspected OF having had mana III lne
murder. The dead man when last seen
alive was in their company 1t seems they
came to the station late the night before
and put up. Early the next morning the
men who are under arrest drove away
without making any inquiries for their
companion. One of them was party to
a lawsuit which was to be tried the next
day at st. Regis Falls and the deceased
was an important witness against him
in the Suit The dead man was Il
poor PC -" Fr en5 NJ living near Trem-
blay's mines and had no money
and no property. He leaves a
wife and six children. Nothing
but spite or desire to have him out of
the way can be assigned as motive for
the killing. Burma, the party to the
suit, and one of the suspected parties, was
in Malone soon after the Van Norman
murder and talked a great deal about
King He had known him and had work
ed with him all winter one winter. lie is
